Let me introduce myself: I'm a translator who has always loved books. To the point that I had my mum teach me to read at a very young age.📚
I also love coffee ☕️ so expect a lot of book and coffee posts.

Worth more than hitting the 'like' button. Says the person who downloaded 19 yesterday. Because there were special offers (Black Friday week or something).
I know bookshops need support but this is rural France. Ordering, shipping costs for English books... downloads save my dubious sanity.

I found out that a local bookshop accepts orders and pre-orders from UK publishers and I can even have the books sent to the shop (which is a 10-minute walk from my home) so I don't have to be home for the delivery. So, I've been going a bit ‘crazy’ with online book orders. I'm running out of space.

My eleven-year-old has drafted a fiction story for class, and asked me to look it over with her. As we sat down to read it, she said, ”It’s either a masterpiece or a disasterpiece. Friends I would like you to meet my new favourite word.”

Schilmmbesserung 1. An attempt to make an improvement that actually makes things worse. “The tragic Schilmmbesserung arose from the apiculturalist’s efforts to create a more favourable species by breeding the Apis Mellifera Scutellata with the Melolontha Pectoralis, resulting the notorious killer cockchafer.”

The Christmas Retreat
by Trisha Ashley

My 5⭐️ #BookReview is attached in 2 parts showing my book review, I couldn’t fit it into just one, it’s just so good. It can be read in the ALT text.

#BookSky #Christmas #Book
book cover of The Christmas Retreat by Trisha Ashley with tree decorations in the form of a striped red and white candy cane with the words Merry Christmas. A lady in a Welsh costume and silver tree with the words Nadolig Llawen . With silver cone and flower and gold and green decorations above. my five star book review part 1 is below This is a wonderful storyline once more from Trisha Ashley whose characters spring to life from each page, and was so good that I was riveted to the final outcome of both Arwen and Ginny’s stories. I love that it is set in the North Wales area in a small hamlet of Seren Bach and love the character of Nerys who runs the writing Christmas retreat that Ginny and her mother Evie both attends in Evie’s case to locate more information about women painters who had lived in the area and in particular one artist. The interactions within the household are a delight with lots of different characters including Rhys, Cariad, Kate, Opal, Pearl and Verity. part 2 is within the next photograph showing my review. My book review part 2 is below There is a poignant heartbreaking story which runs throughout, as well as romance and Christmas vibes and indulgences and the creative spark invigorates everyone at the retreat. There’s revelations in the new year in abundance, as well as a few unsavoury characters and truths. You won’t want it to end as always it’s just so good, there’s some references to spot to other books written by Trisha Ashley which I love to see, and also includes some lovely recipes too as an added bonus to a wonderful read.

We had this beautiful weather as we started coming home today. Then we got near to here it was grey and bucketing down. What have we done to upset the weather gods?
Empty road with a clear blue sky, some white clouds visible overhead. Winter trees line the side of the road and there are powerless lines overhead. Looking across behind bushes to St Bartholomew's Church in the village of Tong, Shropshire, England Autumnal forest, trees have shed their leaves, carpeting the ground, blueskiesshjne through the upper branches. Large English oak tree in the middle of a green field with blue skies behind.

Once she discovered that words could build worlds or mend hearts, she never looked back. In the middle of the night, with only her shadow for company, she wrote letters to the future, to strangers, to herself, always by hand. This is what I am: a writer, she ruminated.

The monsters trying to batter down the walls were frightening enough. The thought of the kind of people who could survive among the living dead was the stuff of nightmares.

Our teacher read this to us in top infants. It was the first novel taht I pestered my Mum to buy. I still have that copy now. I reread it this year. Such a lovely book.

On this day 24th November 1877 the novel Black Beauty was first published.
Anna Sewell said she wrote the novel "to induce kindness, sympathy, and an understanding treatment of horses"
Artist: Harry Wingfield
Illustration showing a brown horse in a field with a small black foal. The foal has the distinctive white star on its forehead. (I’m sure those aren’t the right equestrian terms that they will have to do).

This the fourth book of real-life short stories about me, my family and friends, written in a raw and gritty style.

Incidents, accidents and unexpected outcomes that will make you smile and possibly cry a little.
